Landsail LS588 UHP 235/35 R18 BMW Z4 24 miles August 15, 2025
The inside contact point with the wheel rim failed leading to complete loss of pressure.
This looks like a material failure.
Tyres were fitted 23 months ago and 24,000 miles. We’re wearing well and the car handled well albeit well inside its suspension capacity.
Just about replace the dead and remaining three tyres for a better brand.

Bridgestone Potenza Race 235/35 R18 Honda Civic Type R FK2 500 miles April 30, 2025
I used them mostly on track, a little while on street too. Reason for the short use-time is that the 2 on the front run off of life in 2 trackdays, which is a negative record for me. Used 2 sets of Goodyear F1 Supersport R's before these, they were TW80, these are TW200, however the GY's lasted much longer.

Overall, they kept up very well and I really liked the grip they gave the car but wouldn't buy again because of the high wear rate.

Bridgestone Turanza EL440 235/35 R18 Toyota 2018 Camry SE 2.5L 29,000 miles April 22, 2025
Original tires, rotated every 10k km with mostly highway driving with frequent heavy rainfall.

Dry performance wasn't bad, but not outstanding, able to handle gentle curves at speed and all the acceleration from a humble Camry.

Wet performance was adequate for gentle driving but did not inspire any confidence in hard braking or acceleration from stop, let alone cornering. Understeer was almost a given in any curve above moderate speed.

Road feel was communicated too well, to the point of harshness. Every crack and imperfection in the road, any patched bits or grooving were immediately felt and heard, and even 2 cm dips in the road around manholes would rattle the cabin. I had to become very familiar with every road imperfection on my commute and how to avoid them.

Winter performance was out of the question. Any unsalted patch of frost on the road would cause loss of traction.

Mileage was consistently between 5.6L/100km and 7.3L/100km on the same stretch of highway and street when driven very gently and very spiritedly, respectively.

Replaced at 46k km with 4 mm of tread left due to worsening wet weather performance.

Toyo R888 R 235/35 R18 Peugeot 308 GTi by P.S. 200Kw January 9, 2019
track use only, impressive dry grip, short braking distance, maybe the best of all-considering Michelin ps4s and other top tires , on wet it is terrible, great cornering but a little hard to handle, very short life, a heavy tire, for track days i will buy again and again.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 235/35 R18 BMW 120d M sport 500 miles April 12, 2017
Bought these to replace all four Bridgestone Potenzas on my 120d M Sport and what a difference they make. Much quieter, ride comfort incredible for a RFT and great performance. Can't comment on wear rate yet but on first impression of this recent purchase these Goodyears are excellent.
